1. WildLife At Howard Theatre
A co-production beween Capital Pride and Brightest Young Things, this party will be everything you expect from BYT -- giant blown-up characters, giant characters on blow (maybe), good music, neon, etc. -- in a new forum. It's the first LGBT event at the Howard so it's unlikely that subtlety will reign supreme. 9 p.m., all ages, $25 to $30

3. Sri Lankan Supper Club At Montserrat House
A large variety of home made cuisine from S.H. Fernando Jr., author of "Rice & Curry: Sri Lankan Home Cooking." The most delicious thing one can do this Friday. 7 p.m., all ages, $50

4. Bethesda Art Walk
A pleasant way to spend a Friday evening. Peek into the art galleries in Bethesda. 6 p.m., all ages, no cover

2. Seersucker Social
The most well dressed, somewhat athletic nostalgia fest of the year. Make sure to participate. Your photos from the event will come in hand for Facebook, Tumblr and OK Cupid use. 12 p.m., all ages, no cover

4. Drink Class At Columbia Room
It's a fact that drinking is fun but why not make it funner? This class will teach interested home bartenders how to use honey to make cocktails that much better. 2 p.m., 21+, $65

5. Ceremony, Screaming Females At St. Stephens
While it may be a little annoying to go to a church to see a show after the age of 21, it's not possible to get sick of many female-fronted punk bands. These two local acts are supporting some bands from Iceland. A very punk rock, very D.C. thing to do. 5 p.m., all ages, $12

TOP 5 FOR SUNDAY, JUNE 10

1. Capital Pride Street Festival
A giant street festival on Pennsylvania Avenue NW downtown that happens to be gay friendly. Family but not pet friendly, this event is estimated to be attended by 200,000. 11 a.m., all ages, $5 suggested donation

3. Matt Skiba And The Sekrets, Smoking Popes At Black Cat
Alkaline Trio frontman Matt Skiba has a new band. With other members from AFI and My Chemical Romance, this side project isn't too much different than AK3. More polished, stadium-friendly athems, which isn't a bad thing. Openers Smoking Popes continue to garner the lip service they deserve for creating the template for acts like Alkaline Trio. The foursome still delivers power pop songs that woud make Cheap Trick proud. 7:30, all ages, $15 to $18
